Those that managed to make the snoek talk and Club meeting thanks, we had great fun and turnout was over 32 attendees. (Not bad considering you had to brave the cold and wet to be there. So thanks!)

Thanks also to:• GBBAC for donating the venue for the talk• to Wayne and Jackie for the sausage rolls (YUMMY!)• and David Muller – coming all the way from Melkbos to give some insight on snoek catching.• All those that replied and Supported the meeting but could not attend due to prior engagements.

Outcome:General consensus it seems is you all want a Club so Yeeeehaaa!

Some Benefits of the Club below:

1. To meet with other like minded kayak fisherman, make friends and learn from one another & fish together, locally. 2. Create a formal body to help promote the sport and create a social support group and Network.3. Safety and more fun in numbers.(Individual Club/Kayak number will be issued by SAKFA South African Kayak Fishing Association). Required for control, competition & safety)4. Organised Competitions.....even though every fishing day with your mates is a “competition”. (thanks Dirk, ..love that!)5. Have Club Weekends away (Wife / girl friend friendly). 6. SMS updates. Know whats happening as it happens and get togethers/comps, whos doing what.
